Writes facilitator Mary Ellen Johnson, "I will give a short talk on what I have come to learn about Intuition from my studies, my personal experience, and the experiences of people who have shared their stories with me." Especially in these turbulent times, it is essential to ground ourselves, to be reminded of the truth - that our internal compass, our intuition, is the voice of Spirit that unfailingly guides us. We will spend an evening together reconnecting to our intuition, deepening our ability to discern it, trust it, and act upon it. The address of the church is: 233 S 156th St, Burien, WA 98148. Feel free to bring a friend.

There will be a labyrinth walk at Church of the Redeemer on January 17, 2017, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. This walk is in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and in preparation for the Presidential inauguration on January 20. The theme for the evening is social justice, charity, and peace. Come prepared to ponder anew scriptures and quotes from Dr. King and other peace and justice advocates.

Walk the Labyrinth - Wednesday evening, March 29th, in Burien

Dear Friends,One of my favorite things to do is to share the experience of walking the labyrinth. Especially in these turbulent times, having space to ground ourselves and be reminded of the truth – that life simply unfolds, it is never a dead end – empowers and affords peace. My spiritual community, Genesis Global Spiritual Center in Burien, has invited me to teach and make my labyrinth available on Wednesday evening, March 29th at 7 pm. I’ll give a short lecture, answer any questions that arise, and then we will walk the labyrinth together. The address of the church is 233 S 156th St, Burien, WA 98148. Feel free to bring a friend - I do hope you can see your way clear to come!My best,Mary Ellen

Four years ago in Myra Ryneheart Corcorran's examiner.com article, Seattle Center Communications Director Deborah Daust was quoted, “The concept for the labyrinth…was to activate the space with free activities for the public especially children." With the Artists at Play Opening Event scheduled for May 22nd--and a fresh coat of paint for the labyrinth accompanying the opening of a new imaginiative, artist-created playground--this statement holds true.
